BBC Two - Horizon, 2018, A Week without Lying - The Honesty Experiment

Scientists use new technology to discover what our world would be like if we couldn't lie.

Investigative documentary. Scientists use new technology on three British contributors to discover what our world would look like if we couldn't lie.

Deception is an integral part of human nature and it is estimated we all lie up to nine times a day. But what if we created a world in which we couldn't lie? In a radical experiment, pioneering scientists from across Europe have come together to make this happen.

Brand new technology is allowing them to rig three British people to make it impossible for them to lie undetected. Then they will be challenged to live for a whole week without telling a single lie. It is a bold social experiment to discover the role of deception in our lives - to investigate the impact lying has on our mental state and the consequences of it for our relationships, and to ask whether the world would be a better or worse place if we couldn't lie.
